The Assault on Lara Logan - a Case of Cognitive Dissonance

Lara Logan, a CBS reporter of whom I was never too familiar with, was sexually assaulted while covering the events on Tahrir square. After being immediately flown out of Cairo back to New York, Lara has since recovered from her injuries, which were deemed serious, reunited with her family and returned to work.

Lara is coming out as quite a remarkable person.

In an interview she said: 

"We were detained by the Egyptian army," Logan told Esquire. "Arrested, detained, and interrogated. Blindfolded, handcuffed, taken at gunpoint, our driver beaten. It's the regime that arrested us. They arrested [our producer] just outside of his hotel, and they took him off the road at gunpoint, threw him against the wall, handcuffed him, blindfolded him. Took him into custody like that."
Logan continued to say, "They blindfolded me, but they said if I didn't take it off they wouldn't tie my hands. They kept us in stress positions-they wouldn't let me put my head down. It was all through the night. We were pretty exhausted... We were accused of being Israeli spies. We were accused of being agents. We were accused of everything," Logan said.

So it looks as though she was assaulted by the army and not by unruly mob of demonstrators as was initially thought. But the most disturbing issue surrounding this is the disgusting cognitive dissonance of western liberals.
